Information
DJ KATSU came up with the idea of a hip-hop group in 2001, but it wasn't until 2004 when he formed Hilcrhyme with TOC. The duo released a demo album, Nettaiya, in March 2007, which sold a total of 2,000 copies. Following the success of their demo album, they focused on performing live, attracting hundreds of people. On July 23, 2008, Hilcrhyme released their debut independent single, "Mou Bye Bye". The single reached #4 on the Oricon indie chart, and the music video was accessed 100,000 times on YouTube, leading them to a major debut offer.
